The Spanish president says he is working so that on November 29th they say "Pedro Sánchez, what a son of..."
In an interview on La Séptima, Sánchez trusts in a “historic mobilization” of more than 70%
MadridThere is a chant that the right and the extreme right have championed throughout the legislature: “Pedro Sánchez, son of a bitch”. A slogan inaugurated by Isabel Díaz Ayuso in November 2023 during the PSOE leader's investiture debate. As he already did with “Perro Sanxe”, the Spanish president now wants to change the negative connotation of this insult, although the task is proving complicated for him. “I am working so that on November 29 many people will say 'Pedro Sánchez, what a son of a bitch'”. This is how he verbalized it in an interview on La Séptima, in which he also predicted that there will be a “historic mobilization” in the elections that will “exceed” 70% and expressed his “confidence” that the progressive majority will prevail: “They have written me off as retired during many elections and here I continue, contributing to Social Security”, he said when journalist Javier Ruiz asked him if he would leave politics if he could not continue governing.
Regarding one of the main topics of the electoral pre-campaign, Sánchez argued that there is “evidence to initiate an investigation” into the PP's contacts with Koldo García. Just this morning, Cuca Gamarra acknowledged that the meeting between the popular party's lawyer and the former advisor to José Luis Ábalos “did exist”. Koldo revealed to SER that Génova had allegedly offered him a million euros in exchange for leaking information that could bring down the Spanish government. “While we have expelled corruption, the PP has bought it. This is very serious and I hope it is clarified”, said Pedro Sánchez.
In relation to the obstacles imposed by the Supreme Court on the right to vote of those naturalized under the Democratic Memory Law, he expressed “surprise” at the decisions of the administrative litigation chamber and verbalized the desire for the Constitutional Court to “put things in their place”. Likewise, he reiterated his support for José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero: he defended that the loan received by Plus Ultra is “spotless” and assured that, in the multiple meetings they have held in recent years, the former Spanish president “never” spoke to him about the airline or any other company.
